The how-to of OSD Engineering for Detention Scenarios and Stormwater Storage

On-site Stormwater Detention (OSD) is a vital element for flood mitigation, future-proofing, and water quantity management in modern urban development.

Presented by Kurt Jensen, Peter Hancock & Michael Spiller, this webinar will explore stormwater detention infrastructure. Modular and scalable, modern detention systems can be designed to meet various on-site footprint and configuration requirements.

With impervious surfaces increasing in our cities, it is important that detention infrastructure is developed that helps to retain infiltration capability and ensures capacity for the management of peak stormwater flows.

We will examine key case studies, designs and engineering for different approaches to detention infrastructure, and briefly touch on retention & stormwater harvesting. Design approaches include locally manufactured precast concrete solutions (SPELVault and Megavault) and HDPE arched chamber infrastructure (SPELChamber).

The webinar will also look at maintenance criteria to ensure service life and long-term water quantity provisions are met.
